I recently got a letter in the mail from a company called "Federal Energy Savings". It implied that I "could receive" thousands of dollars in Federal Energy Credits by taking certain steps around my home to improve energy efficiency. I called and what they wanted to do was come to my home to make an "energy inspection". I used the internet to check out the license number shown on their letter. According the the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), the license number being used by Federal Energy Savings of Lady Lake, Florida belongs to Pat The Plumber, Inc. of Wildwood, Florida. When I looked up Federal Energy Savings on the Central Florida BBB site, the BBB showed that the company Federal Energy Savings was Pat The Plumer DBA Federal Energy Savings. Wonder how many have been fooled by this letter? Since I never scheduled the "energy audit" of my home, I have no proof of what would have transpired but I can make a good guess!! It smelled to me like a ploy to get Pat The Plumber into your home for a hard sell on something or other. And I know of several others in my area who received the same letter.
